They'll be plenty of talk, but I think he's a little too young for the job still. Trudeau in 2016 maybe? It seems inevitable that he will lead the
party one day.

I'm wondering if Dion will step down now or later? I hope he doesn't put the party through another round of infighting for leadership and they are
going to want to replace him with these kind of numbers.

Well looks like were right were we started. Alliance minority government. The progressive Conservative party died with Joe Clark. The use of the
word Conservative is merely a confiscation of past allegiance. Harper has proven that laws are only good if they don't get in the way of his plans.
A shame we had to spend 300 million for an election at such a tough time.
This Canadian political scene is a Neo-Con's dream. Lots of left parties to dilute the hippies one choice for the god fearing corporate slaves.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau was a giant not only in Canada but a giant in this world.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau went to China before Nixon, he welcomed John Lennon and Yoko Ono after the persecution at the hands of conservatives

, he gave
Canada its Charter, he brought in the Metric system to seperate us from the USA, he visited Cuba pissing off the US goverment and then after all of
that President Ford invited him to join in the early G7 meetings as an up and coming world leader.

I dearly miss him even though I disagree with some of his policy...some not all.

If Justin is half the leader his Dad was he will be a far greater leader then any that we have now. (imo)

OH YEAH..He brought in the bilingual thing. Canada is what it is because of Trudeau.

I would also like to state that I went to vote tonight and waited an hour in line to find out that I couldn't vote

Yes I had a valid voter card, Drivers liscence with matching address, passport etc.
I get there and they accuse me of trying to vote twice as my name was already crossed out. It seems my democratic rights have been unsurped by either
a clerical error or identity theft.
It took everything I had to not make a scene

My alarm bells are ringing overtime as I am a lonely registered Lib in the status quo capital of Canada. That being the shadow capital Calgary.

Take action. Your loss is every voters loss. I take this type of thing very serious.....let the local paper know...let your local Liberal or NDP Party
know about this...BE VOCAL.

Hell yeah Bahh isn't in my vocabulary. The most troubling part was how everyone was against me. All these people just shook there heads from side
to side. Like I was out of line for making a stink for my rights. It seems average people tend to trust the system unquestionally. It's really
creapy how people exclude any discent in this "borgish" patronizing way. Man I have to get out of this City.

While Newfoundlanders watched their federal election results start to roll in at 8:30 p.m. local time Tuesday, residents of British Columbia and the
Yukon weren't supposed to be able to see those numbers until their own local polls closed three hours later.

But Canadians with an internet connection were among those who could find their way around that particular election rule Tuesday night.

Several blogs and social networking sites that are available across the country posted comments and information about results in Eastern Canada while
voters in western regions were still heading to the polls.

And satellite TV beamed Atlantic Canada's results to the West well before the law permits.

Section 329 of the Canada Elections Act bans the transmission of election results from any electoral district where polls have closed to districts
where the polls are still open.

That means traditional audio and video broadcasts, websites and blogs aren't allowed to report election results nationwide until all the polls are
closed. The blackout was put in place to try to prevent the posted results in the eastern time zones from influencing voters in the West.

Well... its over and I am afraid that Canada has reported the lowest ever turn out for an election. Can't say I blame them. No party has run with a
powerful platform. They all said the same thing, just in different ways. Nobody has anything new or innovative to bring to the table. It just the same
old lies we heard in the last election.

For the life of me I wish some leader would come out of the woodwork. I could care less what party they ran for, just run. It used to be that parties
set agenda based on a style and way of thinking. I really can't see any clear distinctions between what is so conservative about the conservative
party, and what is so liberal in the liberal party.

Canada needs leaders... ones that are going to thing ahead 25 years with innovation and passion to clean up the environment, claim back our money
system, control and manufacture our own products for export, practice sustainable natural resources like forestry and fishing. Get food off the stock
market. Wheat shouldn't be a commodity. Pay the farmers for providing us our food.

It always makes me laugh at how twisted our system is. A hockey player makes loads of money chasing a piece of rubber around the ice while a wheat
farmer is barely making ends meet to provide food to feed the nation. The Hockey player if good continues to see gains. The farmer forced by cutbacks
is forced to cut corners and provide much less quality goods. We really need to get a grip.

To much money goes to the corporate elite. Mr. Harper is in their pockets. Hoping for a bite of the good life. While doing so on the backs of
Canadians. I'm tired of his lies and G.W.Bush style. I demand change as does the rest of Canada. Lets become world leaders again in technology,
innovation and peace keeping.

Canada needs another Trudeau in politics like it needs another hole in the country's wallet. I wish he had had his a$$ handed to him so he could get
out from his father's ego and get a real job. Shows to go you how dumb some Quebeckers are. And I love them as part of our great country. Mostly.

Speaking of having been passed one's patoot, I'd say Harper got an even stronger rebuke than Dion last night. He was up against a weak candidate
with an uncertain platform, and a split opposition and his gamble didn't pay off. He didn't cost us all this time and dough so he could reinforce
the status quo.

Unless Steve can hand us a term full of good government, the first decent Liberal candidate will mop the floors with him. Now...who might that turn
out to be is another question. (coff...Kennedy?...coff) Or will the best man for the job prove to be a woman?

Bob has baggage to unload first, and Iggy is a fascist. Trudeau is too young, and unproven. Here's a name to watch for in the future...look to Mark
Holland to run against Justin for leadership in 2016.
